Well, that's not me, and that is also not true. I tried and failed to find information. There's no "very little time" required to find out if every feature you expect is there or not.

The N900 does not support one of the most usual ways to transfer contact information over Bluetooth to a hands free device. It's the closest thing to a standard that isn't officially a standard. That it would not be compatible with my car HU was impossible to find out without buying one and trying it for myself. I had an idea that it might not be, because I have that experience with other products, but there was no amount of searching that could give me the answer unless I started to study ALL the bluetooth protocols to find out which one used to be used to transfer contact information over bluetooth.

Infact, the only answer if it was compatible or not, on the internet, exists on this site. And I wrote it. To myself.

It is plain hogwash to claim that people can only blame themselves for not getting info when they would need to use years of searching to find out about all the standard features in an average smart phone.

There are lots of people coming here, complaining that things they expected weren't there. If they had cause to expect it to be there, I really don't think it's right to tell them to blame themselves.

If 99.9% of all phones on the market has a feature, and one of the most profiled, biggest contenders doesn't, it really isn't unrealistic to expect that this feature would be in the phone.

However, if they just realize that it has no MMS and this is their complaint, then maybe they should have read at least one review.

Also, what not a single pro-N900 person on this forum seems to remember... The customer is always right. There's no requirement to read up on all features before you buy a camera/phone/condom. If a lot of people expect a feature and it's not there, the product is less than optimal.
